JUST BECAUSE I'M BLACK
Serial 90645030 · Principal Register
Live · Registered

Owner: Curtis Elerson
Class 025 - Clothing
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Apr 14, 2021
Registered Nov 15, 2022

The record shows that “JUST BECAUSE I’M BLACK” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Curtis Elerson. It protects footwear, headwear, bottoms and tops as clothing in class 025, and a continuing talk show broadcast over television and internet in class 041. A similar name used for other apparel or for a different type of entertainment would raise a closer concern only if it falls into those same categories; use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The mark is not on the Supplemental Register, so no descriptive refusal or amendment sequence is involved. The latest event is the registration confirmation on November 15, 2022, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. If you plan to use the same wording for clothing or a talk‑show format, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.

Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.

Your name deserves a straight answer.
